Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that President Barack Obama had intensified the nation’s risk of terrorist attacks by jettisoning key elements of the Bush administration’s aggressive approach.

The criticism came in a broad-based attack on Obama during a Sunday news program in which Cheney also disagreed with expanded White House involvement in the economy and denied that President George W. Bush was responsible for the nation’s financial ills. The White House did not comment.

Since entering office, Obama has announced plans to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; banned waterboarding, a simulated-drowning technique used in interrogations; said he would require CIA interrogators to abide by rules in the Army Field Manual; and ordered the closure of secret intelligence interrogation sites.
